Minor GfxBench2D Update

Posted by Hans de Ruiter

A minor update to GfxBench2D has been released for both AmigaOS (now at version 2.2) and Windows (now at version 2.5). This is a purely cosmetic update, and does not affect the benchmarking process in any way.

This update adds a user-agent string to the upload client, and adds the word "recommended" to the upload requester. The user-agent string is something that the upload client passes to the server to identify itself. Previously this was left blank. While this makes no difference operationally, it is something that should be filled in. The change to the upload requester's text is there to (hopefully) encourage people to upload their results. I have noticed a number of downloads that did not result in new results being posted. While uploading is 100% optional, the more people who upload, the more data there is for everyone to compare performance with.
